Answer:

£480

Step-by-step explanation:

we can multiply both terms of ratio with same number without changing the ratio.

Example

a:b = ax: bx (here we have multiplied both terms with x)\

Given

Stevie and Michael share their profit in a ratio 3:5

Let the profit for Stevie and Michael be 3x and 5x

Given Stevie gets £120 more than Michael

Profit for Steve = 120 + profit for Michael

3x = 120 + 5x

3x-5x = 120

=> -2x = 120

=> x= -120/2 = -60

As we see profit is negative , hence it cannot be solution.

It can be solved if Stevie and Michael share their profit in a ratio 5:3

(note: in ratio , bigger number should have bigger term in ratio)

Let the profit for Stevie and Michael be 3x and 5x

Given Stevie gets £120 more than Michael

Profit for Steve = 120 + profit for Michael

5x = 120 + 3x

5x-xx = 120

=> 2x = 120

=> x= x120/2 = 60

Profit for stevei = 5x =5*60 = 300

Profit for Michael = 3x = 3*60 = 180

Total profit for them together = 300 + 180 = 480 Answer.

Fred says that 1/2 and 7/8 are equivalent fractions. Draw area models for 1/2 and 7/8 to show if Fred's statement is correct. Na
jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:

For your area models you would draw two rectangles and divide one into 2 equal sections, and the other one with 8 equal sections. You then shade 1 box out of the first triangle with 2 equal sides. Then you would shade 7 boxes on the rectangle with 8 equal sides. These diagrams would show you that 7/8 and 1/2 are not equivalent.

To find out what fractions are equivalent to 1/2 you would take 1/2 and times the numerator and denominator by the same number.

1/2*2/2= 2/4

2/4=1/2

1/2*9/9= 9/18

9/18=1/2

2/4 and 9/18 both equal 1/2

Hope this helps ;)

A law firm is going to designate associates and partners to a big new case. The daily rate charged to the client for each associ
Semenov [28]

Answer:

$8700

Step-by-step explanation:

Associates cost $800 each, you have 9 associates, so multiply 800 by 9 which gives you: $800x 9= $7200.

Partners cost $1500 each, you have 4 partners, so multiply 1500 by 4 which gives you: $1500x 4=$6000.

Then add the two together like this: $7200+$1500= $8700.

Parallelogram ABCD ​ is a rectangle.
Ugo [173]
The correct answer is y = 11

because:
2y + 7 = 3y − 4
−y + 7 =−4

Subtract 7 from both sides.
−y + 7 − 7 = − 4 − 7
−y = −11

Divide both sides by -1.
y = 11
